      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      May 8, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Mateo, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire (San Mateo, CA) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      I generally hesitate to write reviews.. but this had to be shared. One of the worst and the lengthiest interview experiences I ever had. The total interview process was almost 9 hours. First of all, I was reached out by a recruiter, and I never heard of Guidewire before and so never applied.Follow up interview was scheduled with the Sr director (around 1 hour) immediately after the recruiter call. I didn't feel the JD aligns with my current role or what I am looking for in my next job. But anyway I thought of giving it a try. I cleared the round and was given codility challenge(2 hours). After clearing that, I had another 1 hour interview with principal software engineer, more than technical, it was situation based, never had that kind of interviews for an average company. Next day, it was followed by 4 hours of interview with a panel. Each of it was a masterpiece experience. Was asked questions totally unrelated to the position, some technical but some were totally off track.. another coding round was to connect to the interviewer's remote machine which was super slow and irritating, to top that the interviewer doesn't seem to have any idea of the question, was unable to answer my questions and I had to figure out looking at the test cases. After that I have been told to do one more round of interview scheduled for 45 min at an odd hour which went until 1 hour and was asked to code on a platform that keeps throwing errors even without adding my code..... And finally I hear back that they have finalized on someone else .. 🤨.. Don't waste your time on this company ... I wish someone told me this before... could have saved me time and effort.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire (Mississauga, ON) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      The interview took place in 4 rounds. The first one was a general conversation with HR. The second was a technical round, during which pair programming was introduced, and the interviewer and I solved a problem together. The third was an in-person day at the office, where I was assigned to two different teams and we pair-programmed on some of their live issues. The fourth one was a communication with their Senior VP which was also a bit technical.
